Pickerington, OH (October 14, 2025) — Yamaha, one of the leading brands in motorcycling, has offered its support of the 2025 AMA Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, serving as the Display Sponsor for the event, which runs October 23 at the Event Center at Violet Woods (formerly the Wigwam Event Center) in Pickerington, Ohio.

“Yamaha has been a consistent supporter of the AMA Hall of Fame and the Induction Ceremony throughout the years,” AMA Business Development Manager Michael Kula said. “We are so grateful to Yamaha for coming back for this year’s event and look forward to working with them to make this year another successful AMA Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.”

Yamaha was founded in 1887 as a musical instrument and audio equipment manufacturer and spent its first 68 years solely in those fields. In 1955, Yamaha entered the world of motorcycles with the release of the YA-1, which launched the brand into the international spotlight and helped make it one of the largest motorcycle marques in the world today.

“The AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame honors icons within the history of motorcycling in America,” Yamaha Director of Motorsports Marketing Steve Nessl said. “We are proud to be part of this great event and are excited to celebrate the best that our community has to offer.”

Immediately following the induction ceremony, the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Cocktail Reception will take place at the museum, running from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.

AMA Hall of Fame Days continues on October 24 with the AMA Hall of Fame Heritage Ride, which will take riders on a tour of Southeastern Ohio’s gorgeous landscape.
